What
is
MIDI?
MIDI
(MUSical
Instrument Digital Interface)
is
the
international standard for digital communication
of electronic musical instrument data.
This means that any equipment which has a
MIDI
terminal-such
as electronic musical instruments
and personal
computers-can
easily exchange
digital data with other
MIDI equipment without
resorting to complicated conversions or connec-
tions.

What
can
you
do
with
MIDI?
Control
anotber
connected MIDI keyboard
By playing
on
one MIDI keyboard, you can
produce a performance
on
one or more connected
MIDI keyboards. If different sounds and effects
are assigned to each keyboard, one person play-
ing
on
one keyboard can produce
an
ensemble
performance of many instruments. Another use
would
be
to
centrally control the sounds, effects
and volumes of connected instruments
on
one
keyboard.
Automatic performance on
the
keyboard
If performance data for a MIDI instrument is
stored
in
a computer or MIDI sequencer, the
stored data can
be
used for automatic perfor-
mance of the
MIDI
instrumE;lnt.
Synchronized performance
Play along with a connected MIDI sequencer or
rhythm machine for a synchronized performance.
